    yeah, and it still bugs me when I see a pic of his guns appear in the random album pictures on the forums index with the title "fun stuff".

    It doesn't "bug" me but it does intensify the feeling of remorse (or loss or helplessness ... I don't know exactly). But I said back then and I still feel now that the guns were a part of who Kitrax was -- I would rather remember him as he was than block out the uncomfortable parts.

    I personally don't agree with the whole "guns don't kill people" line of BS, but in this case Kitrax died because he didn't get the help he needed. And that's the most tragic part of all.

    The gun was incidental. One of a thousand ways he could have accomplished his goal. There's no reason to hold a grudge against the weapon in this case, IMO.

    With all comments acknowledged, I think it would be best if we didn't turn this thread into a debate/referendum on ... anything really. :2c:

    Just went through the first 7 or 8 pages of this thread again, and am tearing up at my keyboard. Not because I knew Kitrax well, because I didn't. But because of how profoundly unnecessary this tragedy was.

    Thanks for the bump Caradhras, and howdy to you.

    Damn, I hadn't realized Kit was gone. I guess a lot has happened in the years I was away.

    I know what it's like, wanting to end your life. I hope he found peace in the end.

    Hard to believe it's been four years already, damn. I barely knew him but every time I think of this, remembering how much his passing touched us all and how senseless it was, it tears me right back up again.

    Yep, time sure does fly. Nice to see you drop in CD, even if it was for this very sad subject.

    Wow, I've been away a long time. It's a little wrenching to come back for a visit on a lark and find this thread.

    RIP, Kit.

    Very sad.

    Not that it changes what happened but I see the class of many the people here in their posts.

    Yeah, it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. I hope he’s watching over us all.
